A seated man on a cream upholstered throne with black carved wooden arms plays a red drum with two wooden sticks. He wears a multicoloured turban in red, orange, blue and purple, an orange-red saffron shawl edged with green-and-gold border, and a long gold bead necklace. A red tilak mark is on his forehead. A green banner with large gold glitter lettering reading Sutras hangs above, and a red drum sits on a stand in front, on a patterned carpet. The page presents him as Swamiji at this event; his face and the cues here (turban, saffron shawl, gold beads) are consistent with a probable Swamiji candidate in person, so the appearance-based label applies.
